*graphic* should i go get stitches for my newest massive skin-picking crater?
not my proudest moment. actually, it’s almost certainly my worst skin picking moment but whatever. i thought this was a cyst and i wanted to remove the sac, only once i started it Just Kept Coming. I think there’s still some in there but im not certain bc i forced myself to stop looking and go shower in hope of perhaps not dying of infection 🥰. anyway, looking at the gunk now, I almost think it’s a lipoma? idk.
now, when i say ‘should i go to the doctor’ i know that the obvious answer is yes, but i really don’t want to.
this bad boy was in my armpit, so i literally don’t give af about scarring, and that’s the main reason i see for ppl to get stitches, but idk if this one is too big to heal on its own, so i figured i would come to the experts 🫡.
also tbh i am concerned about the fact that i didnt get all of it but im just not thinking about it lest i go get the tweezers again.
all advice is appreciated!
(2nd pic is what i woke up to this morning after half-picking what i thought was an ingrown hair the other day & then vowing to ignore it (i failed, as you can perhaps see))
